About 12,000 people joined a parade
Sunday to kick off Tokyo Rainbow Week.

Revelers gathered in the “Pride
Village” setup in Yoyogi Park, one of Tokyo's largest parks which
served as lodging for athletes during the 1964 summer Tokyo Olympics,
before marching through the streets of Tokyo's posh Harajuku shopping
district in the Shibuya Ward. The celebration continued afterward in
Pride Village, where organizers had set up a performance stage and
vendor booths.
